Chapter 10: News from Far Away
Not far away, the Ten Guards counted the horses that Mo Cha had brought back, found their horses, and decided to let Mo Cha and him send the horses back to Zenda. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Hey, you don't want me to go back to Zenda with you, the people there might kill me!" he felt agitated, as if Jubei's decision had put him in danger.
In desperation, Shibei smiled bitterly: "I don't have the skills of yours, I can't drive the horses back to Chanda by myself, so I need your help, now that you are my partner, the inhabitants of Chanda will not be hostile to you." ”
"Meaning you're my boss now, aren't you?" asked Mocha.
"I just treat you as a friend, and I don't mean to drive you. ”
"Looks like we can be a good match, and I'm willing to serve you!"
Jubei was also pleased, because a cheap guide was hard to find on the continent......
After driving for a while, Delacro, who was not far behind him, stopped the two of them: "Don't you mind if we go together!"
"Of course you don't mind, do you want to go to Zenda too?"
Victor and White approached the two, and White said to Jubei, "Yes, even after leaving Veggia, the Free City of Chanda is always open to us......"
"Then everyone is a partner, let's introduce ourselves to each other......" In the chat, the four people who traveled together got to know each other and officially embarked on the way home......
At this time, the free capital of Chanda, the day before yesterday, Xia Yan escorted Manid's caravan safely here, Manid's sophisticated business methods made him gain a lot of wealth, but also made Chanda obtain a lot of profits, so Manid set up a banquet in the town's Happy Boar Tavern, and invited some of Chanda's high-class people to the banquet.
In addition to the ordinary drinkers, there are also Xia Yan, Ramon, a famous slave trader in the town, Instructor Kai, who is admired by the Zen people, Harrick, who has worked hard for the security of Zen, and the blue knight who once met......
As the protagonist of the banquet, Manid first drank a glass of ale and shouted: "I have made a lot of money from this sale, I will first ask everyone from Zenda to rub it here, everyone is free!"
Su Ke on the side greeted Xia Yan triumphantly: "Manid paid off the arrears for you, I'm very happy today, everyone is free!"
"Your way of doing business is admirable, but Claris has been scolded by you......" Kai picked up his glass and toasted Manid, and couldn't stop complimenting.
Manid laughed and nodded, "I'm a businessman, profit first! Ramon, are you right?"
Ramon's eyes full of wisdom kept rolling, and he trembled and said, "How can I compare with you, I am a well-known slave trader, and I am not a bully......"
Harrick squinted at Ramon, as if he was talking nonsense: "Those ransom brokers will give nearly a thousand dinars to buy a noble slave, you are all fifty dinars, and you are embarrassed to say that Tong Su is not a bully?"
Seeing Ramon being argued, Harrick said proudly to Xia Yan: "Boy, you worked hard today, your captain told me that you are extraordinary, and the 500 dinar bounty here will be accepted first!"
"500 dinars, I don't remember that much, did you miscalculate......"
Kai came over and patted Maitreya on the shoulder: "My apprentice Rogge seems to be very optimistic about you, so accept his kindness." ”
"Mr. Rogge is a student of Instructor Kay, ...... you?"
At this time, the blue knight also spoke: "My name is Brother Luchi, and like Rogge, I am a student of Instructor Kai. We belong to a mysterious organization that has been protecting Chanda for a long time, but in recent years, Chanda has been very stable, so the Knights have temporarily disbanded......"
Xia Yan, who was not smiling, suddenly laughed and said, "A road idiot...... Your name seems to be ...... Awkward...... Huh!"
Kai glanced at Xia Yan, and said to Lu Chi again: "Let's talk about business, have you been looking for treasure recently?"
"I've been all over the continent of Calradia...... Still haven't found the location of the treasure......"
"So returning to Zendha means you're giving up?"
"Gave up...... Wait!!" Lu Chi suddenly screamed at the cat whose tail had been stepped on, "Oh my God!!! I almost forgot, I came back to bring a message to the Count......
"Aracis is not here these days, and there is no one in the Earl's Court, you tell me first, and I will convey it when the time comes. Kai reassured Lu Chi and asked.
"Okay, I've recently encountered some mysterious pilgrims in the northwest, who are burning and looting under the pretext of worshipping the dark gods. I felt that they were no ordinary cult, so I decided to come back and report to Count Arassis first. ”
Harrick interjected: "The northwest is the territory of the Nord Kingdom, I heard that the Earl has a good relationship with their king Ragnar, maybe we can entrust King Ragnar to investigate it for us, our top priority now is to eliminate the lawless people in the vicinity, and return to a quiet ......"
"That's what I thought too!, but now that guy has gone overseas, it seems that he has ordered some contraband and gone to pick up the goods......" Kai sighed helplessly.
"Smuggling, it seems that this Earl really has his own ideas......" Natsuhiko smiled, very interested in the story of Arassis, so he pulled Kai aside and chatted.
During the conversation, Kai shook his head from time to time and explained his relationship with Count Chanda: "I have been friends with Arassis for decades, and he does have a hobby of collecting contraband, but this does not affect his enthusiasm for the people of Chanda......"
"There is another question, this is the situation in the territory of the Nord Kingdom, why do the freedoms have to interfere?" Xia Yan felt a little unbelievable and asked.
"Zenda is known as the trumpet of Calradia, and whenever a new rebel force or cult member arises in various places, Zenda has the responsibility to investigate them and alert the kings of various countries. ”
"I see, so what should we do now?"
"This will have to wait for Arassis to come back before making a decision, and you can lead a security team to maintain peace in the neighborhood......"
After the lively banquet, Manid led the caravan to leave the territory of Chanda for Nord overnight, and the people who went to the banquet also dispersed......
